1. Blessing of Abram (Abraham) by Melchizedek:

Gift of the St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr Society.

Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the most High God, met Abram upon Abram’s victorious return from battle. Melchizedek brought bread and wine and blessed Abram. Abram, in turn gave tithes. In these events, there is an allusion to the Eucharist.
